[RFC] Netgear RAX120 v1 OpenWrt bring-up: source preparation and review direction

[John]

Hello,

I would like to contribute development work for the Netgear RAX120 v1 so
that it can be reviewed and maintained by the community. This is an
initial request for review direction, not a claim of upstream readiness
or a firmware release. The work was developed with AI assistance.

A local port based on OpenWrt v25.12.5, commit
f0a60eee2fe051741c643ea6118718aae1ef17fb, was installed on one RAX120 v1.
Historical testing recorded persistent startup, both internal Wi-Fi bands,
WPA2/WPA3 client traffic, DHCP/DNS and wired management.

The source reconstruction includes board/image/upgrade integration,
remoteproc changes and 22 ath11k development patches. In a new offline
check, an aggregate patch reproduced all 27 recorded modified files with
exact SHA256 matches. Five fan-policy tests also passed. This is source
reconstruction, not an independent clean firmware build.

The driver work includes v1-specific register/descriptor/ring handling
and legacy firmware startup/event compatibility. The installed system
uses per-device calibration and owner-retained HK1.2 firmware inputs.
These inputs, private configuration and flashable images are not being
submitted. The source and tests still need provenance/licensing cleanup,
a public per-device input procedure, a current-target rebase, feed pins,
and documented installation/recovery and factory MAC layout.

I propose splitting generic ath11k corrections from RAX120v1 device
support rather than submitting the entire development aggregate as one
patch. Would that be the useful starting point, and which maintainers or
current development tree should I coordinate with?

I can follow up with individual source patches, reproducible tests and
the precise validation limits as they are made ready. I am not attaching
the mixed development archive to this initial message.

Regards,
John
